A big blow to the 2006 Husker recruiting class as word leaked out on Monday that Josh Freeman decommitted from Nebraska and will instead commit to Kansas State. Some are calling this a huge loss, but we’ve always wondered why Nebraska chased him just a year after getting Harrison Beck. Apparently Freeman was asking the same question.

From the Lincoln Journal Star:

On Monday night, KC Metro Sports.com, based in Kansas City, Mo., reported that Grandview, Mo., quarterback Josh Freeman has changed his mind and will play football for the Wildcats instead of the Huskers.

“Nebraska is a great opportunity, but you only get to pick college once. I would hate to go to Nebraska and get redshirted. And that was the vibe I was getting from their coaches,” Freeman told Rivals.com on Monday night.

Freeman, who had verbally committed to NU in June, said he changed his mind after meeting new KSU head coach Ron Prince for the second time.
